Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Favorite Person
Gu Qingyue and Lu Huaijin made a complete plan for how to test Mrs. Yang in the court tomorrow.
By the time the two of them left the Zangcui Building, there was silence outside.
Even the lively ground floor has become extraordinarily quiet.
Hui'er, who had been guarding outside the Zangcui Building, saw Gu Qingyue coming out, and hurriedly rushed forward: "Your Majesty, you can be regarded as coming out, and you are in a hurry to die as a slave." ”
Ah Cai also stepped forward.
But when he saw Lu Huaijin, Ah Cai drooped his head and didn't dare to raise his eyes for a long time.
Lu Huaijin glanced at Ah Cai indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are careful in your work, but everyone knows it." Otherwise, why is the Dong family so relieved to let you stay by my side? ”
Hearing this, Ah Cai's legs weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
He looked at Lu Huaijin with pleading eyes: "Lord Wang, the slave knows that he is wrong." ”
Lu Huaijin sneered: "Your sentence is wrong, I don't know how sincere you are." ”
"Lord Wang." Ah Cai kowtowed heavily, "The slave was confused for a while, and he was confused by the Dong family." Please also ask the prince to give the slave another chance. ”
Lu Huaijin was condescending, stared at Ah Cai for a long time, and said quietly: "Okay." From tomorrow, you will go to the old house on the outskirts of Beijing to guard it. When I let you come back, you come back. ”
To save a life, Ah Cai is too late to be happy.
He kowtowed again and again and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." The slave must live up to the prince's trust. ”
Lu Huaijin didn't look at Ah Cai, don't look over, and looked at Gu Qingyue: "Your Majesty, the minister will send you back to the palace." ”
Gu Qingyue showed a stunned look on her face, and raised her hand to the carriage on the side: "No need, Hui'er will accompany me, I ......"
Before Gu Qingyue's words fell, Lu Huaijin had already grabbed her wrist and dragged her straight to the carriage.
He lifted the curtain and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue still wanted to say something, but when she looked at Lu Huaijin's firm gaze, she could only hold back the words that came to her mouth.
She frowned slightly, and got into the carriage by herself.
Lu Huaijin followed closely and also got into the carriage.
Hui'er and Ah Cai sat outside the carriage.
Soon, the carriage gurgled on the bluestone pavement.
In the carriage, Gu Qingyue and Lu Huaijin sat on one side.
The two kept their distance.
Gu Qingyue's face tightened slightly, and a pair of eyebrows were twisted together.
She looked at Lu Huaijin from time to time.
Every time, as long as her eyes fall on Lu Huaijin's face, she will definitely meet Lu Huaijin looking at her meaningfully.
After a few rounds, Gu Qingyue was finally stared at a little hairy.
She coughed lightly, "What does the regent always look at me?" ”
"The emperor just told the minister why you came to Zangcui Building, and he hasn't told the minister what the golden house is hiding Jiao, what is the matter with the minister's Gillian girl."
Lu Huaijin said, leaning down, his hands interlaced with his fingers, and his elbows resting on his knees.
His body lowered a little, and he could only half-raise his head, raise the corners of his eyebrows, and look at Gu Qingyue meaningfully.
Gu Qingyue's expression became more and more nervous: "I just said it casually. The prince doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
"Really?" Lu Huaijin sneered, "But the emperor wasn't like this just now." Looking at the emperor's appearance, he clearly wants to know what the relationship between the minister and Gillian is. ”
"Nope."
"Really?"
Gu Qingyue didn't overdo it, picked up the curtain with one hand, and looked outside.
Her lips moved slightly, her throat rolled around, and she whispered, "Really...... No. ”
"Okay. Nachen still didn't say anything. ”
As he spoke, Lu Huaijin really hugged his hands in front of him, closed his eyes, leaned against the wall of the compartment, and said nothing.
Gu Qingyue looked sideways at Lu Huaijin.
Seeing his calm appearance, anger rose in his heart.
She bit her lower lip tightly, gently kicked Lu Huaijin's calf twice with her toes, and asked angrily: "Don't I tell you if I don't ask?" ”
Lu Huaijin leaned against the wall of the carriage and slowly opened his eyes.
The corners of his eyebrows raised upward, and there was a bit of nonchalant sneer in his eyes: "Why can't the emperor understand this?" If you don't let the minister say it, the minister naturally doesn't have to say it. You are obeying your will. ”
"You ......" Gu Qingyue was so angry that she was about to bite her lip, "Why don't you see you being so respectful to me on weekdays?" ”
Lu Huaijin suddenly leaned forward and approached Gu Qingyue: "So, is the emperor more willing to treat you like he does on weekdays?" ”
The two got together in an instant.
Looking at Lu Huaijin's clear eyes, Gu Qingyue paused in her heart.
After a while, she raised her hand and grabbed Lu Huaijin's arm.
The fingers twisted Lu Huaijin's big arm and twisted it inward.
This is Gu Qingyue's nirvana.
The inside of the arm was rotated like this, and it was extremely painful.
Even Lu Huaijin didn't lock his eyebrows, raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Gu Qingyue.
The latter raised his chin, and there was a little more joy in his eyebrows.
"You are the regent appointed by the Emperor. Maybe sometime, I'll give you a marriage. ”
"If I don't even know what the situation is in your house, whether you have someone you like, or if you have a woman who you like but don't marry home. If you turn around and beat the mandarin ducks, wouldn't it be a good thing for the regent? ”
After speaking, Gu Qingyue let go of Lu Huaijin, the corners of her eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a little more joy in her eyes.
Lu Huaijin pressed one hand on his big arm and gently rubbed it up and down.
There was a tingling and painful sensation in his upper arm.
However, Lu Huaijin's heart was full of warmth.
He looked at Gu Qingyue fixedly, thought for a moment, and said with a light smile: "It's a good thing that the emperor is so considerate of his subordinates. The ministers of the province will also explain this matter to the emperor in the future. ”
Gu Qingyue suddenly raised the corners of her eyebrows, and her eyes were a little more stunned: "What do you mean by this?" Do you really want to marry Gillian? ”
Although she had already learned about the relationship between the two from Ah Cai's mouth, when she really heard Lu Huaijin admit it herself, Gu Qingyue still had an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.
At this time, Lu Huaijin only looked at her indifferently, without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying it, which made Gu Qingyue's heart bottomless.
That kind of acid diffuses a little bit in my heart.
For a long time, Gu Qingyue didn't wait for Lu Huaijin's answer, she overlooked herself, avoided Lu Huaijin's gaze, and waved her hand irritably: "That's it, I understand what the regent meant." In the future, I will not ask about the affairs of the Regent's Palace. ”
"But what is special about Miss Gillian, if the prince really wants to marry her, he has to think about how to explain to those old ministers in the court. They are not me, so they don't care who the prince likes. ”
In their eyes, the prince's marriage was nothing more than a transaction. When the time comes, if they fail to persecute the prince, I am afraid that they will take action against the Gillian girl. The prince ......"
"The minister does have someone he likes." Lu Huaijin suddenly spoke, "But it's not Gillian." ”
